Abstract excerpt
One characteristic of pigmented (Pgm+) cells of Yersinia pestis is the adsorption of sufficient quantities of exogenous haemin during growth at 26 degrees C to form dark-brown colonies. Carriage of the cloned haemin-storage (hms) locus in pHMS1 restores this phenotype to spontaneous Pgm- chromosomal deletion mutants of Y. pestis. We have mapped the location of the structural genes for four proteins encoded on...
